In Progress
This stuff is a pain in the backside to work with.This is where I stopped turning and started sanding
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r300/bnccont/11-7-09015_edited.jpg)
Not much color to it other then where I fixed a couple spots by glueing some sawdust in
I will post finished pics when I get it done
Not a callmaker but that looks like some stringy stuff.
Was this vine dead Bill? :laf:
If it wasn't dead it sure is now :laf: I don't have a moisture meter,but the way it drilled and the dust that come off it while sanding it sure seems dry.
It acts more like a spalted wood chunks breaking off I had some spots to fill with saw dust and super glue
That's cool Bill. I look forward to the end result.
I didn't know you could do anything with grapevine except almost kill yourself as a kid by swinging on them. :innocentwhistle:
I have a poison ivy vine you can try if that one turns out. :eyebrow:
Saw a spoon made from poision ivy once, really nice look to it.

nice!
That turned out pretty good Bill. Its funny that you made that out wild grapevine. I was just sitting in some over the weekend while I was deer hunting and I couldn't help but wonder how it would turn. I have to ask though - did that brown up naturally or is that from some kind of stain / finish?
I finished it with a friction polish and that is the way it ended up
The warmer I got the polish the darker it got,I just stopped there
How does it sound?
I haven't put a reed in it yet so right now it sounds like the wind :laf:
Nothing wrong with the way that turned out Bill. :yoyo:
Nice looking call Bill. I like the way it changed color.

After looking at the first picture I really wondered how it would finish. It finished up really well. Nice job Bill.
Jerry
Nice job Bill......all the grapevine I saved a while back.....Busted all to pieces.....I will cut some more soon as it gets cold out and I will try it but if its that big of a pain I will send it up to ya..... :laf: :laf:
Thanks for the nice comments
Al Go ahead and give it a try You just never know :innocentwhistle: You may end up liking it :laf:

That turned out pretty nice. Nice mellow colors.
That did turn out nice Bill. I was setting here wondering if it turned out OK or if your house was warmer. :laf: :laf:
